What is a .MMS file?
An .MMS file is a type of file known as a Transformation Extender Map Source File. It is created using a program called Map Designer, which is part of a larger software package called IBM Transformation Extender. This software is used by businesses to manage and transform data during transactions with customers, business partners, and suppliers.
The .MMS file contains what are called maps. These maps are not geographical maps, but rather templates that show how data should be changed or transformed from one format to another. Each map includes input and output cards. These cards are essentially instructions that define how data should be inputted and what it should look like after it has been transformed.
To create an .MMS file, you would use Map Designer. Here’s how you do it: 1. Open Map Designer. 2. Click on 'File', then 'New', and then 'Map Source'. 3. Choose where you want to save the file. 4. Name your map. 5. Click 'Finish'.
However, after creating an .MMS file, you cannot use it directly in IBM Transformation Extender. First, it needs to be compiled into another file type called .MMC, which is the format that can be executed by the software.
To open an .MMS file, you need to use IBM Transformation Extender. This program helps in setting up and executing the transformations as defined in the .MMS file, allowing the data to be processed as needed.
